Holly Mary Jane Kids Barefoot Shoe - Black Leather

My daughter wore these for a full day at school and didn't complain once, which says a lot since she used to kick off her stiff shoes by lunch. The leather upper is soft right out of the box, and I like that the insole comes out so I can check the fit as her feet grow.

I swapped out the cushioned insole for a thinner one and she can actually feel the ground when she runs now, which is exactly what I wanted from a barefoot shoe. The leather upper has held up great after two months of daily preschool wear, barely a scuff.

My daughter's feet finally look like they're shaped like actual feet, not squeezed into pointy shoes. The leather is beautifully soft and the removable cushioned insole makes it easy to swap for her orthotics.
